Customer reviews for 5 ft. Porch Patio Swing

Need a place to relax after a busy day. Our 5 ft. Porch Swing adds that homey look to your porch while offering you and yours unbelievable comfort. The swing is constructed with custom contoured seat slats adding to your comfort and support. Made of 100% Northern White Cedar, the wood is naturally resistant to rot and insect damage. Our swing can be finished with a quality penetrating oil, or left to weather to a silvery grey color. Many, or most of the logs will have cracks. These cracks are called checks. Checking occurs when the logs dry and the cells shrink causing the wood to split. This does not weaken the wood. Checking helps give cedar furniture its rustic beauty. Needs to be suspended from your existing structure. Frame not included.

absolutely perfect!

It assembled easily and quickly (within half an hour), had all the necessary parts included, and provided a list of required tools (basic), simple step-by-step instructions, and clear easy-to-follow diagrams.

Its seat is ergonomically designed, so that it's very comfortable to sit in. (Swing holds 3 people easily.)

It looks beautiful! Solid, gorgeously crafted, and is very handsome hanging from my oak tree.

It's American-made!, obviously with care and attention to detail.

I'm totally delighted, and have already ordered another piece (a small bridge) from the same company.

Note: the assembled swing is heavy, so it really takes two people to hang it. We used heavy-duty cable to hang it from our tree.

Good product

Swing is comfortable, I only wish the back was a little higher so I could rest my head back and it be supported. In my case I had to move the support posts to the inside so the swing would have enough clearance to fit between my deck posts.I do like the fact that you can pick the position of the recline. I went further back then the standard 15'' that the manual states. It did take a little while to figure out the desired position, but overall a good swing. I also stained the swing before putting it together with the behr waterproofing stain from home depot to match our deck color and preserve the cedar from turning light grey, which happens overtime from the weather(elements).

Very comfortable swing.

The swing was easy to assemble. I couldn't believe how comfortable the swing was after sitting in it. The swing can easily sit two adults and two small children with room to spare. The quality of wood was also excellent. If you are looking for a patio swing, this is one to take a look at.

Exactly What I Wanted

I selected this swing based on the reviews and they were right. I wanted a bench swing that would look good out in the yard (free standing with no cover) and would hold up to the weather. The slightly rustic look of this one and the cedar construction fit the bill perfectly. The curved edges of the seating are very comfortable, almost ergonomic. You don't get that hard corner that starts to dig into your leg after a while. It's easy to put together but I would advise staining it BEFORE you put the pieces together; it's just easier. Also, it doesn't come with a chain so you'll need to get that. I didn't want the bulk of the A-frame swing set-up so I sank two 4x4's into the ground with concrete with a cross piece from which I hung the swing. I've already had 2 contractors who were working next door ask me where I got it and how much I paid. They couldn't believe the price was so low.

Pros: Durable, Easy to Assemble, High Quality of Material, Sturdy, Comfortable, Looks Great, Looks High End

Cedar Porch Swing

I absolutely love this swing! My husband and I can't wait to get home after work and go in the backyard and sit in our swing! It was easy to put together, a great swing for the price and it is very, very comfortable. I love the way it looks sitting under a big shade tree in our yard and we have had a lot of compliments from our friends about how beautiful it looks and how comfortable it is. We highly recommend it to everyone!

Extremely Happy

This is such a wonderful porch swing. It was shipped to us very quickly first off. Second it is easy to put together and it is COMFORTABLE! It has a very rustic but beautiful look. We chose to let it age naturally. My whole family loves it as much as I do. I would buy another in a heartbeat and highly recommend it.

Strong and beautiful porch swing.

The porch swing is strong and well built. It required assembly. We decided to do additional sanding of the swing and added stain as well. I didn't expect that we'd have to do the sand and stain when arrived; and I'm glad we did. It came out very nice. Highly recommend! Very comfortable.

Pros: Durable, High Quality of Material, Easy to Clean, Sturdy, Comfortable, Looks Great

STURDY AND BEAUTIFUL

We bought this swing for our back deck about a month ago. It is well built and easy to assemble. Not to mention it's beautiful. We live in a log home and it looks right at home. We WILL buy another one for the back yard. Very Pleased!

Research Pays!

There is a reason this product has five star ratings.This swing is a quality product at a great price. The capacity is impressive, and the rustic look has people asking me where I bought it. Assembly was fast. A quick trip to Home Depot for two heavy duty ibolts, two 18" lengths of galvanized chain, and two screw type quick links had us swinging. Assembly is a 2 difficulty on a scale of 10. Note: The splits in the limber does not effect function and is natural.

Pros: Durable, Easy to Assemble, High Quality of Material, Sturdy, Comfortable, Looks Great, Looks High End

Exactly the porch swing we were searching for! Very comfortable!

We are very pleased with our new porch swing. Assembly was straight forward; instructions were good; I felt it should have had more assembly screws for the joints and I was also very proud and pleased that is was MADE IN THE USA!!! It is very comfortable and we are enjoying our leisure time in our new swing.

Please continue to search for vendors/suppliers offering products made in the USA, it has never been more important to support OUR country and OUR workers and OUR fellow man in OUR country, (rather than China, Korea, Mexico, Indonesia, and Tawain)!

Swinging

I have always wanted a porch swing, but never had the space for one. When I had completed some remodeling, the search for a swing that would be just right for my home began. I looked at web sites and in stores to compare construction, style,materials, and price. I chose the one at Home Depot for all of these reasons and picked a real winner. Putting it together was easy. When it was up and swinging, it looked just like the picture and all specifications written about it were accurate. Every one who stops by comments on itt's good looks and comfortable seating. It is a perfection addition and a joy to use.
